I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

A thirst for power?

What is she saying?

Upon hearing this, the god's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt.

She raised her small face and looked at Tsukuyomi with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, I was taken aback.

Although it was the first time the god had seen that face, he sensed a strange familiarity between those unfamiliar brows.

It felt like they were close friends of many years.

but

For all this time, the only person who has been by my side is the Priest Shiraki.

How is this going?

This contradictory feeling greatly surprised the gods.

"Hmm, don't you understand?"

Tsukuyomi also stood up, thoughtfully stroking her chin, her beautiful eyes gazing at the deity.

"The priest Mingming said, 'Little eloquent angel, you seem to prefer this style of dialogue now.'"

Little Debater?

Upon hearing this title, a hint of anger appeared on the goddess's pretty face.

She retorted angrily.

"How many times do I have to say it? I am not that eloquent god!"

"I am who I am!"

"Besides, I don't need power or anything like that!"

"I can cultivate my own willpower and become stronger sooner or later!"

"You of unknown origin, get out of my temple right now!"

Tsukuyomi looked at the god's pretty face, puffed up with anger, and smiled slightly.

He gently comforted her.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. If you don't like it, I won't call you that."

"but"

A hint of amusement flashed in Tsukuyomi's beautiful eyes.

She asked softly.

"Is that really what you think?"

"Of course!" The god nodded without hesitation.

Tsukuyomi smiled gently.

She leaned forward slightly, bringing her face close to the goddess's pretty face.

Despite the intimate gesture, the deity seemed to tacitly approve of it and didn't even find anything wrong with it.

Tsukuyomi's cherry lips trembled slightly as she whispered a question in the god's ear.

"Even if you're left far behind by your own priests, you don't care at all?"

Upon hearing these words, the goddess's delicate body suddenly trembled violently.

She raised her head blankly, staring in disbelief at Tsukuyomi, who was still smiling faintly.

what happened?

How did this mysterious witch know about this?

This was her biggest secret!

The deity instinctively clenched the blankets beneath him.

A hint of fear crept into the gaze directed at Tsukuyomi.

"who are you?"

"My name is Tsukuyomi, and I am the god who governs the night."

Tsukuyomi tapped her chest with her finger, her tone light and gentle.

As she uttered those words, a shimmering silvery-white light appeared around her.

Like bright moonlight, it bathed the entire main hall.

This is pure divine power.

The amount of divine power contained in each ray of light far surpasses the power of will that the gods spent an entire day barely absorbing.

The silence speaks volumes about the terrifying power of its master.

Enough to suffocate even the gods.

Tsukuyomi?

The gods were utterly shocked.

Tsukuyomi, one of the Three Noble Deities?

Why would such a deity appear in one's own temple?

Moreover, why would you ask yourself such a question?

Seeing the god's shocked expression, Tsukuyomi smiled faintly.

He continued to lean close to the deity's ear and whispered.

"Don't worry, I didn't say what I just said to Priest Shiraki."

"It's a little secret between the two of us gods~"

"So, if there's anything you want to say, whether it's about yourself or about the priests, you can tell me."

"I swear on the honor of Amaterasu Omikami, I will not tell anyone or any god."

The god stared blankly at Tsukuyomi, who was radiating divine light before him.

The intimate aura emanating from the other person seemed to touch the softest part of her heart.

next second.

As if a dam had burst, large, glistening tears suddenly welled up in the eyes of the deity.

She kept wiping with the back of her hand, trying not to let Tsukuyomi notice.

But it was of no use.

In just a few seconds, tears had soaked the bedding beneath her.

She wiped away her tears and choked out.

"I, I have really tried my best to absorb the power of wishes!"

"But he's just too fast. No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up!"

As he spoke, the god's back trembled slightly.

She was truly terrified.

This feeling had been with her ever since she realized Shiraki Jun's true strength.

What would happen if Priest Shiraki knew that he was actually just a very weak god?

What will happen?

Wouldn't they scold themselves and then angrily leave?

After all, she was such an incompetent god.

Priest Shiraki is such an excellent priest that he is fully qualified to serve a god who can make him stronger and bestow divine power upon him.

If he really did that, the gods would not have any complaints.

Even for the sake of Priest Shiraki, they should have told him the truth and let him choose for himself.

However, the gods couldn't bear to part with it.

To those powerful priests, Priest Shiraki was just another excellent priest.

But for her, it was completely different.

Priest Shiraki is her only priest!

The shrine can be abandoned, but the priest cannot!

Therefore, the gods usually avoid discussing cultivation with the White Wood Priest, and try to maintain the illusion that they are very powerful.

I just hope that the day we part ways can be postponed as much as possible.

Nevertheless, the gods had already keenly sensed that things might no longer be able to be kept secret.

Because recently, Priest Shiraki's attitude towards him has become increasingly cold.

Even when they come to this hall, they merely sit below and do not speak to me.

Even in the rare conversations, the content seemed to be a challenge to himself.

Moreover, it has been a full month since he has had a medical check-up!

why?

The gods couldn't understand it.

Originally, she still harbored a sliver of hope.

If one works hard to gather one's own willpower, perhaps one can gradually catch up with the pace of the White Wood Priest's cultivation.

Then there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

But when she saw through the divine realm the entire process of Shiraki Shun's battle with that human Onmyoji last night, she knew that it was all in vain.
